One program allows an international buyer to attain conditional permanent residence by investing $500,000 in a limited partnership at various government-maintained regional centers. Another stipulates an investment of $1 million to create 10 new full-time positions for U.S. workers.

Visas are also available for foreign investors who manage various types of businesses in the U.S., including rental properties, condos and franchises and those in the export and import business.

One of these Visas that is gaining in popularity, especially with the devalued U.S. Dollar, is the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa.  With a cash investment of as little as $500,000USD up to $1,000,000USD, and create employment for at least 10 U.S. workers, a citizen of country outside of the United States could have unlimited U.S. residency opportunities.
